Why doesn't anyone think Maresca can/will use a 2-3-5 & not just 3-2-5 in settled play? City do it now because they have technically gifted players to sustain pressure and provides just as much security in transition whether its 2-3 or 3-2 rest defense (2-3 gives you much more command of central areas during attack). I believe we'll be bold since there's no longer Silva who lacked pace that prevented us from pushing high up. That way it allows us to use 2 CBs as the last line (most of our CBs are very fast) one fullback inverting (Cucu) and the other overlapping or under lapping depending on who's playing on the flank. In midfield I believe KDH will play more minutes than we imagine, Palmer would have to adapt to RW because the two 8s are very important parts of Maresca's set up, not just offensively. So if Palmer finds himself in the 8, defensively we will suffer except he starts to burn more energy helping the team. I'm more concerned about our CBs game time, rather than midfield to be honest.

Bcos he has said it himself that leaving 2 at the back will leave only 3/4 players to defend a turnover. He prefers the balance of 5

Football is fluid these days.Chelsea is a big club, everybody will get a chance to contribute. Only Caicedo and Palmer appear irreplaceable at the moment, every other person will justify their need to play.This is not a club of 11 good players, we should have 22 good players that can start. With this squad we have, there is room for flexibility. Cole Palmer should not be playing every game, particularly the carabao games, he needs to be rested so he can be fresh for crucial games

How about a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Palmer as d sole no.10, Nkunku playing as supporting striker and KDH playing the left-hand side of the 3-man midfield

I appreciate the insightful breakdowns. 🙌

The first formation with Reece hugging the line instead of Palmer is the most likely, with Nkunku up top.

Moresca always uses 2 no 10s so both will play definately in that midfield. Cole from the left KDH from the right.Our 2 most expensive midfielders can't be both benched so either Enzo or caicedo will play deep with an inverted fullback. Myself i'll prefer Lavia in that position when he's fit.

Importantly, there’s definitely no room for one of my favourite players in Gallagher.

@@sergeynestgerov4843 sadly I agree. We have two players now that will pull up their sleeves and do the dirty energetic work in Caicedo and Dewsbury Hall. Both are technically better players. But Gallagher puts up a fight like I’ve never seen. I still remember when the team was completely out of form and everyone was hiding in attack and defence under Lampard he was the one guy that showed up. It’s these moments I hope that other players can emulate.

I don't like Enzo game for anything. No scoring sense and assist. I will prefer Cucurella to support Caicedo at the Midfield as seen towards the ending of last season when Enzo was injured. We won almost all the games. If Maresca needs to do better in his first season he needs to sacrifice Enzo in that midfield.

I don't think Chelsea we signed any recognized striker this summer, and try Nkuku as false 9

We can play with caicedo as a pivot hall at the Left half space Enzo at the right half Parma at the right wing space sterling or mudrik at the left wing space then James attack the line at the wing space Enzo drop from the right half space while Parma will move immediately to the right and at same time James can invert at same, Enzo attack the right half space parma stay wide which I believe with the level of their understanding we can a better rotation like this from our right side like Portugal in ongoing euro cup which cancelo,vitinha and Bernardo are applying this rotation like this and his even what will apply btw Enzo, sterling and James against Liverpool in the second half of our opening premier league match last season

I know this is for content purposes but in a few words. What recruitment is doing. 1. We only have Palmer in that left 10 role, was effective at RW. Admit it doesn't affect him. 2. We only have Noni at RW, after failing to get Olise. Solution: get SBD who can chip in for Palmer instead. If Noni is injured, no problem,if Palmer is out, no problem. I find this perfectly balanced and competence-led. All these Enzo stories got mi ribs cracking man! He's what we got instead of Olise in a bid to balance the TEAM.

Ndidi is the cm who pushed up. Caicedo will be the one to push up. He'll have 8+ assists due to his effectiveness in counter-pressing, winning the ball high and don't forget ranks in the 90s for insightful passing. He'll grow into this role. Enzo will be in Kroos role. Deep and only joins the attack later on.

What about Nkunku

I would start caicedo as RB where he played before and invert him to midfield that could work

It will be work putting Nkunku Enzo and KDH in this team even Mudryk might be hindered with Sterling asking for games...Also Palmer should not be returned to RW NOOOO ...It will not be easy Gallagher might not be sold but ends up rotting on the bench Carney also

I hate that people forget that to compete you need quality in your bench too. Look at trosard for arsenal or Alvarez for city. Not everyone can start but in case of injuries you need someone who can fill in without dropping team qualiy

Nkunku actually plays dat Dewsbury Hall position on d left, while Palmer does dat from d right. Jackson plays in attack except we get Osimehn. I don’t think we’ll get Jonathan David as Nkunku can deputise in attack. We’ll still need to sell at least 3 players and loan a bit more to trim down the squad.

Maresca uses one pivot

Then we can still results to Same 3-2-5 or 2-3-5 aswell

I don't know if it's another channel or yours but what is so bad in having enzo and caceido as double pivot with an attacking fullback in either James or chilwel. Everybody is saying enzo is a natural fit for replacing enzo so why are we expecting to play him up front as one of the 8s when we know it doesn't work. To me what works on paper at least is James and cucurella as fullbacks, james being an overlapping fullback, he is great at that, palmer starts as right winger and moves into the right half space with James overlapping. The playing personel doesn't matter as long as everyone understands what they are meant to do in any given position. To me Spain's pattern suits chelsea more. Enzo for rodri, caciedo for Fabian Ruiz, then Palmer for pedri, others can fill up the rest.
